Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will increase the Local Majors Fund.

The Local Majors Fund supports local transport scheme bids which are too big to receive support from the Local Growth Fund. At the Spending Review in 2015, the Government announced the Local Majors Fund would comprise £475 million of funding over this Parliament. This Fund forms part of the Government’s commitment to infrastructure – over 3000 infrastructure projects have been delivered across the country since 2010.
